Area under the receiver operator curve (AUC) and 95% bootstrap confidence intervals (CI) for the new prediction rule (RISSC85) alone, and with the inclusion of parameters

AUC (95% CI)
RISSC850.63 (0.61 to 0.67)
RISSC85 + CRP0.63 (0.61 to 0.67)
RISSC85 + BUN0.63 (0.61 to 0.67)
RISSC85 + X-ray0.63 (0.61 to 0.67)
RISSC85 + BAC0.64 (0.62 to 0.67)
RISSC85 + VIR0.64 (0.62 to 0.67)
RISSC85 + ETIO0.64 (0.62 to 0.68)
Simplified RISSC850.59 (0.57 to 0.62)
  • BAC = bacterial agents. BUN = blood urea nitrogen. CRP = C-reactive protein. ETIO = aetiology. VIR = viral agents.
